[RESOLVED] Link CSS Colors

[so_is_this]

Seems like this question gets asked a lot -- and I really did search.
But, I have the following specified because I want my links
to always be a particular color except during hover:

a:link { color: FFCC00; }
a:visited { color: FFCC00; }
a:hover { color: FFFF00; }
a:active { color: FFCC00; }
But it seems the first two colors settings are not being used
(the standard default link colors are shown instead). Why?

Oops, I was missing the pound-sign. Thanks.
